YouTube - Scott Kalitta Fatal Crash 6/21/08

 

R.I.P 46-year-old Kalitta
The NHRA said the 46-year-old Kalitta - the 1994 and 1995 Top Fuel season champion who had 18 career victories, 17 in Top Fuel and one in Funny Car - was taken to the Old Bridge division of Raritan Bay Medical Center, where he died a short time later.
Kalitta's Toyota Solara was traveling at about 300 mph when it burst into flames.

 

R.I.P. Scott Kalitta..You were a hell of a driver and a hell of a man, you will be missed big time

 

It's pretty sad when we loose 2 Funny Car drivers in 2 years. The whole safety issue needs to be reviewed from top to bottom. Chassis construction, safety equipment as well as the tracks. The only other real alternative is what Jim Head proposes and that's shortening the timed portion of the race track to 1/8th mile or 1000'. With the cost of racing going so sky high, most racers would like to see this happen anyway.

 

that track needs a longer shut down area
